Join Fazey Woodcraft for two day&#39;s of Ash Splint Basket Making.....
&nbsp;
Your tutor for the weekend will be the fantastic <a fr-original-style="" href="https://michellemateocrafts.com/" rel="noopener" style="user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: inherit; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Michelle Mateo</a>. Michelle is an experienced basket maker &amp; bowl turner, and member of both The Heratage Crafts Assocation &amp; The Basket Makers Assocation.
<div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">This two day course will see you go from &#39;Log to Basket&#39;. Beginning with an Ash log, the weekend starts by pounding the ash by hand and then processing the splints yourself into the necessary pieces required. You&#39;ll then get the chance to split the splints further, as well learn knife techniques to prepare the ash for weaving.</div>
<div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Next begins the basket, you&#39;ll learn about basic weave, and the importance of tension. You&rsquo;ll also get to understand so much more about the properties of Ash; its durability, its flexibility, strengths and weaknesses.</div>
Learning these skills will give you the foundations needed to not only weave baskets yourself, but also how to produce materials yourself, adapt future baskets to your own designs, and a guarenteed&nbsp; appreciation of the mighty Ash Tree.
-----
<div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Ash Splint Basketry has its roots in the indiginous cultures of North America, and many of the techniques used in the making of these baskets also originate from Europe.</div>
<div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Due to the way Ash trees grow, pounding the logs delaminates them, enabling the harvesting of thin strips of wood. These are then worked further before being woven into baskets.</div>
